Time always flows, some people always feel it is slow, and some people feel it is too fast.
But whether it feels fast or slow, amidst the carnage and bloodshed, the world of the Three Kingdoms has moved from the day when the Blood Banner Army completely eliminated Liu Zhang's forces and took over Sichuan, to the 12th year of Jian'an. Nearly seven years have passed.
.
These seven years have been a period of ups and downs for the general trend of the world.
It took Cao Cao in the north seven years to fully digest the fruits of his victory over Yuan Shao in Guandu in the fifth year of Jian'an. This time span far exceeded Cao Cao's previous expectations.
However, it took a little longer, but the effect was still good. By the way, Cao Cao also sent troops to teach the foreign "Wuhuan" who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to come and take advantage of the situation. He completely wiped out Yuan Shao's remaining forces in the north.
At this point, the prototype of Cao Cao's foundation has been completed. His ambition to become the world's leader is unparalleled.
In the north was Cao Cao, while Zhang Lu occupied the Hanzhong area, Sun Quan ruled a large area of land in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and Liu Biao was entrenched in Jingzhou, watching from all sides.
Of course, there is Liu Xie lurking in Sichuan in the general trend of the world.
Several forces are clearly distinct and have different backgrounds. Only Sichuan has remained elusive for the past seven years.
Blood Flag Army? What's the origin of this? After many contacts, it was discovered that there are actually many familiar faces in this so-called Blood Flag Army, including Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong. Isn't this the same person who mysteriously disappeared from Cao Cao's siege?
The Xiapi garrison? Why did they even change their names?
What's even more strange is that the person who can be said to be a man of words in the Blood Banner Army is not Lu Bu, nor Chen Gong and his ilk. Instead, he is a mysterious man who wears a mask and no one knows his name. It is convenient for outsiders to call him,
This mysterious man was given the title "Golden Masked Man".
This golden-faced man is naturally Liu Xie.
Not showing up is the safest way for Liu Xiesi to think about it. His identity is too sensitive. Once he shows up, the first person who will not let him go is Cao Cao. They will definitely say that he is a fake, and the fake one in Xu Duli now
The goods are genuine. This is the fundamental problem for Cao Cao to stabilize the situation. No matter how big the risk is, Liu Xie must be eliminated first.
Therefore, in order not to affect the established plan, Liu Xie gave himself a golden mask and wore it when meeting people. He pretended to be a ghost and frightened many people.
For example, Zhang Lu, who is close to Liu Xie's forces.
Zhang Lu was originally Liu Zhang's general, but later he was separated. Now he is caught between Liu Xie and Cao Cao. He has also sent people to the left and right to ask questions, but both Liu Xie and Cao Cao are ambiguous but unwilling to treat him.
Accept his affiliation.
The reason is very simple. As far as Cao Cao is concerned, his current enemy is Liu Biao who is entrenched in Jingzhou. Once Liu Biao's power can be destroyed, he will be able to divide the world from the middle, thus occupying the absolute strategic initiative and power.
Advantages of depth machine transformation.
Before Cao Cao realizes this strategic concept, he does not want to create more enemies, let alone the powerful and mysterious Blood Flag Army.
Therefore, the weak Zhang Lu became a necessary buffer zone in Cao Cao's eyes, used to temporarily stabilize the situation between himself and the Blood Banner Army, and did not want to border in advance to cause friction and then turn into a confrontation.
Liu Xie had the same idea as Cao Cao. He was also interested in Jingzhou where Liu Biao was located, and had been preparing for it for seven years. In order not to fight on two fronts, it was also a good thing for him that Zhang Lu was in Hanzhong.
Ever since, poor Zhang Lu has lived till now with great fear.
Seven years is a relatively long buffer period for people like Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Sun Quan. But for Liu Xie of Sichuan, it is not a buffer period, but a blowout period.
For a long time, the counselors and generals in Liu Xie's camp expressed their opinions on the plan to conquer the world. In the end, after constant grinding and supplementation, the final long-term ladder-type layout was drawn up under the leadership of Chen Gong. The essence of the entire plan is only four
One word: Invasion is like fire!
In the final analysis, Liu Xie's approval of this huge plan lies in three points.
First, wealth.
In the Three Kingdoms, there are only two things that can be regarded as real wealth: people and food. And these two things are complementary to each other. Only some people have food, and the more food, the more people. And the more food, the more people.
People will be stronger.
Liu Xie, who had two crops of rice, had accumulated savings in seven years and was already considered to be the most abundant force in the world. As for population, this thing always flows with food in troubled times, and he, Liu Xie, was not lacking, and was even very rich.
Second, combat effectiveness.
Cao Cao had tigers and leopards riding on them, Sun Quan had tiger soldiers riding under his chariots, and Liu Bei, who has now taken refuge with Liu Biao, also has white-eared troops in his hands. And so on.
What about Liu Xie? He has the Blood Flag Army. Moreover, his Blood Flag Army is the leader of all forces in terms of quantity and quality. Because, in the past seven years, the 10,000 elite Blood Flag Army has become 30,000.
, and the minimum number was three times, and the maximum number was six times!
One bowl at a time, each bowl can improve the overall physical fitness by 10% to 20%. In other words, the worst among these Blood Flag Army elites can also improve the overall physical fitness by 30%.
Physical fitness has improved by up to 120%!
This does not include those generals who have drank more sacred water. In Liu Xie's words, if these elite Blood Flag Army go into battle, no matter what enemy they encounter, they will be destroyed in just four words.
Lu Bu, whose overall physical fitness has more than tripled, is now like a demon god. The title "Thousand-man Enemy" is already a bit inappropriate for him. He is simply inhumanly strong.
Third, vision.
Generally speaking, foresight is predicted or guessed through some clues. This is a very test of wisdom. But Liu Xie doesn't need it because he has the blessing of the gods. Every major turning point he is reminded by the gods.
We have already grasped the original trajectory of the world in the next ten years.
What Liu Xie has to do is follow these inevitable trajectories, slowly accumulate strength, and then pinpoint the key points and overturn the table directly.
Based on these three points, Liu Xie has been patient for seven years. He is waiting for a blockbuster and an invasion like fire. He wants to end this troubled and troubled world in one fell swoop before anyone can react! Then he will rebuild on the ruins.
The Han Empire belonged to him and to the great gods.
"Your Majesty, the first legion of 10,000 elite troops and 20,000 auxiliary troops, led by Generals Lu Bu and Wu Yi, has been assembled in Fuling. The first batch of grain and grass baggage has also been prepared. The second legion and 20,000 auxiliary troops are led by Zhang Liao and Gao
General Shun, under the leadership of General Shun, has also secretly assembled in Badong, and all the food, grass and baggage have been prepared. Are you going to launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang and Jingzhou according to the original plan?"
Chen Gong found Liu Xie on the city wall of Chengdu who had come out to relax alone. It was now the first day of February. According to the original plan, five days later would be the last moment to send troops to Liu Biao. Even if the plan was there, the order still required Liu Xie
It must be signed in person to be executed.
"Chen Gong, tell me, why did Lord Yama repeatedly tell Liu Bei not to let him go? A liar who knows how to run away and retaliate for kindness and revenge. What is there to be wary of such a despicable person?"
